Staff Reporter:
BNP chairperson and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, now undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospi-tal in the capital, turns 80 today.
The party will arrange a milad and doa mahfil at its offices across the country, including at Nayapaltan central office, on Friday instead of Thursday to mark the day.
BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Tuesday said their party would hold the milad mahfils praying for the long life of Khaleda and the salvation of the departed souls of those students and mass people who embraced martyrdom during the recent movement.
He called upon the leaders and workers of all levels of BNP and its associate bodies to spontaneously participate in these programs.
As in the last eight years, the party has no program to cut any cake to celebrate the birthday in the early hours of her birthday.
